@Tamas_Papp Thanks, I just opened an [issue.](https://github.com/JuliaNLSolvers/Optim.jl/issues/934)

Also, this is the first issue I’ve ever opened and I was wondering if there are some general guidelines for how to write an issue. I couldn’t find any on this site, so I made a post here: [Guidelines for writing an issue? - Meta Discussion - JuliaLang](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/guidelines-for-writing-an-issue/65204)

Lastly, my first question isn’t an issue…any clarification on Optim’s definition of"success"/“failure” would be helpful!
